Chemistry gram calculation

how many grams of NaOH are needed to make 100 grams of 5 percent solution?
A.2
B. 5
C. 20
D. 40
E. 95

Hi!

to have 5% solution you need 5% solute NaOH and 95% solvent
so 5g solute per 100 total grams of solution

i think they tried to confuse you between solute solvent and solution
Hope this helped!
